Copy dashboards to other users

There are two possibilities to copy a dashboard from one user to another, namely,

  1. manual transfer in the Energyworx platform or
  2. using the ewx-cli.

⚠️ Warning: This overwrites the current dashboard for the user!⚠️

Always first make sure the user wants their dashboard overwritten. Any manual changes made by the user are gone after transfer.

Option 1: Manual Transfer​

  1. Find and copy the dashboard you want to copy, as follows:
  • Go to [Identity Access Managment] → [Users]

Check if there is a Key named dashboardconfig under PROPERTY {num}. If not, create one by clicking the [+ Add Property] button, and setting the Key as dashboardconfig.

Paste or expand the Value dictionary with the one copied from step 1 (find and copy the dashboard you want to copy).
